Adam Basanta - Room Dynamics (CA) UK PREMIERE
You are surrounded by pulsing lights and strange sounds. Ghost bells, glowing orbs, bioluminescence and submarine sonar evoke an underwater world, as you sink deeper into an an audiovisual ocean.
Francesca Fini - Snow Red (IT) UK PREMIERE
Two women in snowy white tunics use hairdryers to defrost a blonde barbie trapped inside a block of ice. Using the symbolism of the bikini and the burkini, Snow Red questions whether it is still upto men to decide what women should wear.

A local showcase of live electronic music from the Southwest, featuring performances from Claire Northey, ILe Flottante, ejwT, Al Kalinity & Lorcán Thompson.
Jade Montserrat - Shadowing Josephine (GB)
Montserrat performs Josephine Baker's banana dance repeatedly, in an emotional and physically exhausting loop. Baker was the first widely celebrated, independent, black celebrity who emerged from colonial and segregation contexts.
“The light drummed against his brain, bathing the submerged levels below his consciousness, carrying him downwards into warm pellucid depths, where the nominal realities of time and space ceased to exist.”
- J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World
